Another good episode of Itazura na Kiss. It seems like that blondie can be no one other than Non-chan. The episode started off having a lot of elements of recent episodes - Naoki being cold, Kotoko being depressed, but the episode didn't dwell on that too much and started an interesting looking Hospital Arc.

a rather boring episode, especially the first half =/ the story development is going nowhere; its just jumping from arc to arc without any decent transition whatsoever.

I was worried that Irie had forgotten the previous episode, but I'm glad he made the effort :)
I was surprised at the pacing of the ep. I thought it was over after the capping ceremony but then the commercial break thing came on and I was like "yay! more episode to watch".
They seem to be bounding ahead and leaving big gaps with little physical change. Also, you'd think that after 4 years Kotoko would mature just a little bit...

Fingers crossed it is Non-chan, but I have to say OMG if it is. What is with the blonde hair? lol

I'm still really enjoying this show, but it's starting to get to the point where I can't take Irie and just how bad of a husband they can make him. I mean honestly, by now I keep thinking the level of him being an ass should of dropped a bit. Oh well, I'm still holding out that he might turn out to be normal.

Either way still a fun show and I love seeing a slice of life show with massive time jumps like this. I normally hate time jumps, but it seems like such an interesting novel idea for this show and I'm really enjoying it.

well, once you hit 19-20, you sorta stay like that for up to 26-27....
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Well everyone says it non-chan and I don't know whos right..
But honestly, theres a two main things to think about
-Non-chans illness, wasn't he like staying at the hospital? That's how bad it was wasn't it?
-Considering that how'd he become famous in a span of 4 years(or more because they didn't really tell us what's going on with him)

But who knows!
Wow, hard to believe that theres only 5 episodes left: (

Or longer. ^.~ I'm in my 30s and I pass for a 21 year old. It all depends on your genetics as to whether you change that much from year to year. But yeah, once you hit about 20, you don't change much for the next 20 years generally - just different hairstyles and clothes. ^.^

Yeah, but now that I think about it, I can still remember being 7-8 years ago and being 18 like it was yesterday, so I'm starting to really relate to the whole "time flies" concept of the show, lol.

I'll be honest, I don't give a crap about Kotoko and Naoki anymore. He's going to say a jerk and she's going to stay tasteless. I don't care if they stay together forever or both die, whatever.

But MOTOKI. I was so so so happy to see him get to wear his nurse's gown and cap at the ceremony! Way to go, honey!

Aren't they going a little too fast? I think they could've made more episodes, Itazura Na Kiss can offer a lot more. 4 years passed like that? Nuuuuuh it made me unhappy :(
I love this showwww!
Will they ever have children, I wonder?
How will this end I wonder since the mangaka died before completing it...Anyway! MOREEEEE :D

Yeah Naoki really annoys me.
I wanted to Kill him in the last episode and then he acts like a Charming Prince.
And then when I have hope in him changing he just acts the same....which wasn't surprising at all >.>
But I cant wait to see the next episode!
Is there gonna be a 2nd season?

I agree with everything. Maybe it's better in the manga, but there's been no real character development at all.

Don't get me wrong, I like this series. But isn't it a little... unrealistic? First, they get married when they just started college, don't have jobs, and live in his parents' house.

Flash forward 4 years... She's a nurse, he's a DOCTOR.... And they're still living in his parents' house??! Not to mention, she still acts so formal around him. He's been calling her Kotoko since high school, and she still refers to him as Irie-kun? The fuck!

Thor, I'm getting tired of Irie... And of her too, because marrying a jerk who has been treating you like crap for years and still expecting him to change is so annoying.
Yargh...

I really liked the fact the series is about a couple over the years and that they did get married quickly, etc but they could have chosen a better couple!!! :p

As for all those guys mooning over her, only into make us understand she'll never leave her jerk. Barf! :D

Naoki is too embarrassed to buy flowers, for his wife. He can't buy flowers for his wife, even when she asks for it. Does marriage mean nothing to these people?

I think Keita makes a much hotter doctor than Naoki, even though he's a nurse.

4 years later - it's amazing to see that fact does not really matter since nothing has changed.

dafuq is with the ending, one guy comes after another to Kotoko. But I'm glad that they haven't turn this into a male harem anime, I wouldn't have watched it if so.

Non-chan? Or who might this new character be? It's quite an interesting ending if you ask me and well she actually made it as a nurse! The scene where Irie does still visit her was really nice and well being a nurse is quite an interesting setting if you ask me. Well lets see who this new character is and what his history is with Kotoko.

Aww, we're back to nice Naoki again. He still came for her ceremony even though he said all those cold things! He just can't be honest can he ^^

Another time skip? And this time it's 4 years!!

It's nice to see Kotoko as a fully fledged nurse even if she's still clumsy ^_^

Nobuhiro? Hmm, where I have I seen that name before? Don't tell me that's Non-chan all grown up! Wow if that's how much he's changed I want to see how much Yuki has changed too!

Whuuuuut? Did that guy even appeared in the earlier episodes or is he just a childhood friend/something like that? He also look more like a woman than a man.

A four years time skip. I think it was the right thing to do, now the story can progress in another direction.

I found it touching the story about Moto-chan wanting since her youth to do the ceremony in the nurse uniform. He never felt like a boy, I can't understand that feeling, but I sure feel empathy.

I hope this dude won't be going after Kotoko, honestly, can we get some episodes about them alone and without anyone trying to get in between them? Honestly I really like this anime but it's bit too much, how many was there?

This show is greatly helped by the supporting cast. And Motoki is the best homo I've seen for a while! I was so rooting for him n Keita but I guess a hug from the back is all there is. Keita is straight as hell.

Nice moment with Moto at the ceremony.

What's with the mid-episode 4 year time skip?

Keita continues to be one of the few characters I like, so I'm glad he didn't disappear after the skip.
